In the late afternoon of Monday, June 8, 2015, a burst of violence shattered the peace in the 5100 block of Southern Avenue, SE in Washington, D.C. Twenty-one-year-old Qur'an R. Vines, a male resident of the Southeast area, was shot and killed in a fatal incident that occurred at approximately 4:01 p.m.
The Metropolitan Police Department responded to the scene and launched a homicide investigation into the shooting death of Vines.
To date, details about the circumstances leading up to the shooting remain limited in publicly available information. Authorities have not released any description of a suspect or suspects in connection with the murder.
In the years that have passed since Qur'an Vines's death, the case has remained open. The Metropolitan Police Department continues to seek assistance from the public in gathering any information that might lead to a breakthrough in the investigation. A reward of up to $25,000 has been offered for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for this homicide. Despite this incentive, no arrests have been announced, and the identity of any potential suspect or suspects remains unknown. The investigation into the untimely death of Qur'an Vines is ongoing.
